Subject: Terminal type ?

Hi, I was using PINE on Linux, which has been recently upgraded to Linux
2.0.0. But now I get this message when I try to run PINE:

             Terminal type "vt220", is unknown.

Is it a Linux problem, or PINE, or just "mine" ? I couldn't find any
references to this in Linux manual or PINE configurations...

Thanks in advance,
                         Pau

Actually, I've no idea what exactly goes wrong, but you might want to check
the TERM option. 

   Unix Pine uses the following environment variables:
   TERM
          Tells Pine what kind of terminal is being used.

Please refer to the attached technotes for further detail.

Cheers,
Robin

       On the package it said: "Requires MS Windows 3.11 or better"  
	       			      ...  so I got myself Linux.

Hi, I used <export TERM="vt100"> in the Linux command line, as someone
told me in the PINE list. It worked immediately, many thanx to you all...
